Sci-Fi? The channel depended upon old "B" SF movies, SG-1 and its spin-off
and a revised Battlestar Galacta? Please. If that were true, they would have
still been willing to finance Farscape and some of the other "edgy" SF
series they've had on. And exactly what do they mean by broad based appeal?
Wanna bet it tain't nothing more than Hollywood suit talk?
